Trial summary

This is a research study of asthma and sleep apnea. Our hypothesis is that untreated sleep apnea causes inflammation in the lung, which can worsen asthma. We believe treatment of sleep apnea will reduce this inflammation, and improve asthma control. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) on Airway Inflammation in Asthmatics With Sleep-Disordered Breathing: A Pilot Study

This is a research study of asthma and sleep apnea. Our hypothesis is that untreated sleep apnea causes inflammation in the lung, which can worsen asthma. We believe treatment of sleep apnea will reduce this inflammation, and improve asthma control. This study will help us better understand what happens to the lung and bronchial tubes before and after treatment of sleep apnea, which could benefit all patients with sleep apnea. This study involves 2 bronchoscopies.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Systemic inflammatory markers will include IL-6, IL-8, CRP, and TNF-α.

  2. Exhaled breath condensate levels of IL-6 and 8-isporostane will be measured.

  3. BAL (bronchial lavage) fluid cell count and differential, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF- α will be measured.

  4. Endobronchial biopsies to analyze extent and type of inflammatory cell.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Symptoms, albuterol use and daily morning and evening peak expiratory flows from diary cards.

  2. Spirometry measured at three time points: before, during, and after CPAP therapy.

  3. Post-CPAP methacholine for bronchial hyperreactivity

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP machine as a result of sleep study in people with Asthma and Sleep Apnea, run by National Jewish Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Systemic inflammatory markers will include IL-6, IL-8, CRP, and TNF-α.. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2017.
